As long as sbd trades for more than one usd on the external market you are ahead to take 50/50.
If sbd is below one usd then you want to power up 100%.
If you go to the internal market now, one sbd is 1.18 steem, if you took 100% power up then you would get ~.25 steem for it.
The internal market tracks the external markets close enough that there in no need to pay the fees associated with sending it and trading it, then sending the steem back.
You would lose money on the fees that you get to keep by trading internally.
You get to the internal market by clicking your sbd in your wallet and choosing market.

blocktrades works better than the internal market though...

How so?
I use it and don't pay any fees to power up.

I have no idea as to how it works – it's pretty confusing...

It is pretty straight forward, just set a buy order, and wait.
If you set it at what the lowest sell order is, you will buy right away.
If you set it well below the market price, it may be a while, if ever.
I have my buy orders set in a ladder from .6 down to .2, just in case sbd pumps to 16usd again.
If you are just looking to exchange to power up then set a high bid and wait until the market matches it.
If you go through blocktrades you pay fees, I don't know what those are but they are higher than 0.
If you don't mind paying for the convenience, that is up to you.
